Introduction

Note

You can use CobbleGen Configurator WebApp instead if you don’t want to configure the config files manually.

Format v1.x

Tip

CobbleGen uses a more lenient format of JSON called HJSON/JSON5, meaning you don’t need to care that much about the comma and stuff.

There are 2 config files for CobbleGen:

• cobblegen.json5 - Where you define the generators
• cobblegen-meta.json5 - To configure CobbleGen’s behaviour

Every config file must be wrapped by {} otherwise it won’t be valid, for example:

{
  "cobbleGen": [
    {
      "id": "minecraft:cobblestone",
      "weight": 100.0
    }
  ],
  // Be sure to define the config format version to prevent breakage in the future
  "formatVersion": "1.1"
}

Format v2.x

In the future, CobbleGen will start using TOML instead of JSON to make it a lot easier for people to write the config. Check out GH-53 for the latest draft.

There are 2 config files for CobbleGen:

• cobblegen.toml - Where you define the generators
• cobblegen-meta.toml - To configure CobbleGen’s behaviour

[[cobblegen]]
id = "minecraft:cobblestone"
weight = 100.0
